The domination of one's spirit and mind is not a pretty thing, but I think it happens.

I'm not certain, but I have a little gypsy blood in me. And my mother always told me that her grandma could give someone the evil eye, and I'd better not cross her because she had some of that blood in her. Mother always believed that she could predict the future, and she had dreams that came true.

That's what heroic stories do for us. They show us the way. They remind us of the good we are capable of.

I've always heard people's criticisms twice as loudly as their praise.

I don't really approach stories to make them different from other stuff I've seen, I just try to get into the character, into his or her head. Try to make it as funny, as scary or as wild as I can so that I really like it.

I've always worked with a team of actors and filmmakers ever since I was a kid in Michigan making Super-8 movies.

Money opens up wonderful worlds of possibilities.
